Was ist Sofrito Sauce?
Sofrito is an aromatic flavor base made by slowly sautéing finely chopped or pureed vegetables like onions, garlic, peppers, and tomatoes in olive oil or annatto oil. It is a fundamental building block in the cuisines of Spain, Portugal, Latin America, and the Caribbean, providing depth and complexity to a wide array of dishes.
"While regional variations abound, the essence of a great sofrito lies in the slow caramelization of its foundational aromatics, which extracts maximum sweetness and depth before other ingredients are added."

To achieve a truly rich sofrito, cook the vegetables on low heat for an extended period, allowing their natural sugars to caramelize without browning, which develops a deeper, more nuanced flavor.
